Michael Moore had to use funeral footage sneaked out Arlington and used without the family's permission, along with a unethical edit of an NBC interview with an double amputee at Walter Reed. Both of those dispicable acts helped the left lose the 2004 election.
But what if Code Pink tricked an actual soldier or Marine? Our natural tendency would be to confuse sympathy with understanding. Code Pink could use them as human sheilds against scrutiny of their aims. Code Pink and MFSO have no problem using a blast fax to every newsroom by the Institute For Public Accuracy offering up about 10 military families who lost loved ones for interviews. MFSO set up Gold Star Mother For Peace, again co-opting the good name and good well felt towards another respected organization the Gold Star Mothers. Likewise, they use the public's sympathy towards those lost on September 11th but forming a front group, September 1th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.
We put a BIG wrench into Code Pink's recruiting at Walter Reed. Funny how the more effective "counter recruiting protest" has been us against Code Pink, not Code Pink against the US Military.
Are you talking aboutthe kid who was not only not against the war, but also was not wounded in combat? There's a guy in F 9/11 who got oboth his hands blown off by an exploding landng gear tire on a Blackhawk. the same thing could have happened to him on any Army flightline here in the states. In fact, when I went to Air Force tech school there was a bolt moutned on a plaque on the wall of my classroom. It was sheared in half by a guy who splattered himself all over the place filling an F-15 tire with a high pressure air source, and they wanted to show us how great the forces involved are.
